Mishima is a separation station and an important traffic junction, in which the Tōkaidō Shinkansen and the Tōkaidō main line , two of the most important railway lines in Japan, run parallel. Both connect Tokyo with Nagoya and Osaka and are operated by the JR Central rail company . In the station, the Sunzu line of the local railway company Izuhakone Tetsudō branches off, which leads to Shuzenji in the west of the Izu Peninsula .

On the Shinkansen - speed rail line Mishima is usually twice per hour and direction of Kodama operated trains on which stop at all intermediate stations. This offer is complemented by six daily Hikari - pairs of trains , omit the individual intermediate stations. On the Tōkaidō main line, nine express trains run daily from Numazu via Mishima to Tokyo, seven of which continue to Utsunomiya and Takasiki . There are also two to four times a day the Odoriko express trains from Tokyo via Mishima to Shuzenji. Regional trains run three to six times an hour, depending on the section of the route and the time of day, and usually travel the section between Atami and Shizuoka . Regional trains on the Sunzu Line run approximately every 15 to 20 minutes, and every 8 to 12 minutes during rush hour.

The train station on the northern edge of the city center is oriented from east to west. It has 16 tracks and a station building on both long sides. In the far north is the newer station building with access to the four standard-gauge tracks of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen , which are elevated on a wide viaduct . The two inner tracks are arranged on a long covered central platform , which is served by the high-speed trains stopping here, while the two outer tracks are used without stopping at high speed. A three-track Shinkansen depot and a parking facility for railway service vehicles extend south of these four tracks . From here there is also access to another parking facility around one kilometer to the west, which is used to park Shinkansen trains.

South of the Shinkansen station are through tracks for freight traffic and the station of the Tōkaidō main line . There are four tracks on two covered central platforms for the trains that run here. In the far south is the older station building. Immediately to the west of it, the Izuhakone Tetsudō has its own building. There the trains of the Sunzu line use three butt tracks on a central and on a side platform. All parts of the station are connected by a wide underpass. There is a connecting track between the Tōkaidō main line and the Sunzu line, which is used by the Odoriko express trains. A pull-out track leads to a goods loading ramp for single wagon traffic .

In 2016, the JR section of the station had an average of 30,454 passengers a day, plus 8,548 passengers in the Izuhakone Tetsudō station.

history

Mishima station after completion in 1934

Mishima has flourished as a post office on Tōkaidō Street since the Edo period . In 1889 the state railway opened the section of the Tōkaidō main line from Kōzu via Gotemba and Numazu to Shizuoka (corresponds to a large part of today's Gotemba line ). However, the route ran far past the place, as the residents had protested against running the railway through the town. On the other hand, geological problems should also have contributed to this decision. A little later, Mishima regretted standing on the side and in 1891 petitioned for the construction of a train station in the neighboring community of Nagaizumi , initially unsuccessfully. It was not until 1898 that Mishima received a rail connection when the private railway company Zusō Tetsudō (now Izuhakone Tetsudō ) opened the Sunzu line , which branched off the main line at Shimo-Togari station.

The situation changed fundamentally with the construction of a new route for the Tōkaidō main line through the Tanna tunnel . When this went into operation on December 1, 1934, with a delay of several years, a new train station was opened in Mishima on the same day - with connections to Tokyo and Osaka without changing trains . From the same day, the Sunzu Line also had its starting point here. A quarter of a century later, the Japanese State Railways built the Tōkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line and opened it in October 1964. In Mishima, it ran parallel to the tracks of the Tōkaidō main line, but the Shinkansen trains initially ran without stopping. A year later a parking facility and a signal station were built here. Together with the neighboring communities, Mishima worked hard to ensure that the station should have a platform for high-speed trains. The state railroad turned in and the first Shinkansen train stopped on April 25, 1969.

On June 16, 1972, the Izuhakone Tetsudō gave up freight on the Sunzu Line. For cost reasons, the state railway stopped checking in luggage on November 1, 1986. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the corresponding part of the station went into the possession of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 , while JR Freight took over the freight traffic. In 2014 the station received a new, significantly expanded south entrance.
